They're just lying to themselves. They're still saying it, the intent is still there. Its like people who say they dont curse, but say, "what the freak" or "fluk".

Or instead of saying bitches to women, people would say Queens and Sistas.
As a teen I always thought it was cool, then kind of annoying because PEOPLE WOULD OVER DO IT. I would think, damn how badly you want to say niggas and bitches. Just say dude, bro, wazzup, those guys, those ladies. Some people really are always thinking like that, but that does not mean everyone
Then you have izzle during the 00s like
Is this an American issue?
I have been thinking of certain African American issues (not financial) that I think are mostly an American thing

Idk the answer to this, but I know one this for sure. There are entirely too many black people in America that over use that word wayyyy tooo much, but are super sensitive if someone nonblack uses it.
I'm talking people that use it in damn near every sentence, as an adverb, adjective, noun, like cot damn. They'll even use it addressing nonblacks, but heaven forbid if one of them says it back.
Gotta make up your mind. Is that a word not to be taken lightly or not?

The bold is something thats also been interesting as well because then you realize alot also use the word nigga as a stand in for a man in general. Which then brings up a whole nother discussion.

Extensively. It just isnāt used as āmy niggaā in other places but itās just as much a part of the (English speaking) diasporan experience.

I tell you soon in the West Indies, itās gon be āplease mistuh nigga, please!ā (1959, Trinidad)
^^^This instance specially, is the exaltation of the āniggaā that young people today often cite in these debates ātaking it backā or whatever Juxtaposed with the ānigga shitā that The Last Poets would speak about later using the wordā¦Itās almost like both groups went through the same holocaust and responding similarly.

Thereās a strange tendency within Afram thought to blame Black America for corrupting the rest of the Black world. This debate exists SOLELY because of slavery and Black genocide, there are NO other ppl to point fingers at, especially not the victims.

This. Let's keep it real. Most young kids that use that word now have probably never encountered it being used any other way than they use it. In another couple generations, the racist usage could be a thing of the past. That's just how words work. When I was a kid, if people got cheated or swindled, they would say "I got gyped." We had no idea at the time that was a slur of the Romani people.

It was not used casually in black neighborhoods
Yes it was. Black folks calling each other nigga didn't pop up in the 80s. But you also tend to take a "if I didn't see it it didn't happen" pov as opposed to asking where the information comes from lol
